I have replanted all I want from it, so have a big clump of plant left. It has a pale pink, large flower. It will need to be in a frost-free position. Please message me if you would like all that is left. The clump is big. It could be divided into about 10 plants. This photo is very like the orchid I have. I have now given the orchids to the first person who replied. I will leave this up in case they don't collect them.

The Wellington Phoenix women’s side may have found a happy home at Porirua Park.

Playing their first game at the venue, instead of Wellington’s Sky Stadium, the team found their groove, beating Western United 3-1.

The match on 12 November was played in front of more than 1700 fans, who voiced their approval regularly as the Nix continued their strong start to the A-League campaign. The Jerry Collins stand was rocking with chants and noise and the food trucks did a roaring trade, showing the ground was an inspired choice for six of the Wellington club’s home matches through until mid-March.

The recently upgraded venue hosted the South African team during the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Porirua City Council has plenty of free tickets to give away as the season progresses, so make sure you visit our Facebook page in the week of matches at Porirua Park.
